| - Not a bad place for a burger and a drink, but not great either.
To summarize the pros and cons of my experience:
Cons: 1. Sticky tables, 2. Dirty looking silver ware 3. Cool beer, not cold beer.
Pros: 1. Good Food, 2. Nice and attentive staff 3. Sports on TV 4. Free Wifi
I went to the Roadrunner off Buffalo and Washington around 4:10 on Saturday 4/6/13. I walked in and sat myself as a sign instructed and was promptly greeted by the Manager on duty. He brought a water and he took my order. I asked for the 1/3 lb Angus Burger and a draft Sam Adams Boston lager. I prefer draft instead of bottled because draft is colder, usually.
Looking around its what you would expect from a local's oriented sport bar. Dim, sticky and sports on TV. The table I sat at was pretty sticky and the silver ware, though clean, had a lot of water spots on it and looked a little gross. They had Wichita vs Louisiana on, no volume though which was ok with me because I think Charles Barkley's voice is annoying. Also they didn't have the captions on so I had no idea what anyone was saying, but I don't really care that much about it.
About another 3 minutes later I was brought a bottle of Sam Adams Boston lager instead of a draft by a very kind waitress. Even though I ordered a draft I didn't make a stink about it because hey, beer! Taking another look around, the place was clean and if you like antique-ish looking cowboy stuff and garb this place is your mecca. There are cowboy hats, western style art and nick-nacks on the walls; even rusty looking horse shoe light fixtures. Also they had a sign that said free WiFi, which is all ways cool.
Now to the important stuff; the food and beer. The beer was cold but not cold enough, I'd honestly have to say it was cool. You know a beer is cold when there's condensation on the bottle, a good example is when you bring out a glass of ice water and there is moisture on the outside of the glass, that means its cold on the inside. To say the least it was cool, tasted warmer then my water and therefore like crap. Any savvy beer drinker knows, especially those that prefer Sam Adams, that a good beer temperature is between 39 and 45 degrees; mine tasted more like in the low to mid 50's. Yuck, but I still drank it because I'm a man, and a man never wastes beer. I ordered another hoping for a better one, but I was disappointed again.
The burger was good, very slightly pink even though I asked for well done, and was served on a perfectly toasted bun with too much lettuce and two slices of tomato. With half the lettuce off, the burger tasted excellent; the fries were also good and had just enough seasoning unlike other places that pile on the salt.
The price for a burger and two beers was $18.32 with tax. That's $4.50 a beer and $7.95 for the burger. Not great but not bad for Vegas, I'd say it's the average around here. If you go there Mon-Fri between 11am-3pm you can get the burger for $5.95.
